💬 Builders: The Reason Quality Gym

A fully interactive B1.1 speaking-skills lesson for the Builders' Studio Opinion Architecture module. Learners warm up with four questions about what makes a reason convincing, then train in a three-part Reason Gym toolkit: Spot the Weak Reason (a weak reason is vague and fits any opinion), Upgrade It (make the reason specific and add evidence with 'for example'), and a Before-and-After table that lifts three weak reasons into strong ones. Ten B1 words for reason quality (reason, specific, evidence, weak, strong, vague, convince, example, detail, upgrade) appear with full definitions and examples, and six become review flashcards. The reading is a 155-word Reason Gym scene in which Coach Sam pushes Marco, Aylin and Priya to upgrade their reasons, with seven hover-tooltip words. Practice offers eight fill-in-the-blank items on reason-quality vocabulary with live feedback, hints and a score. Speaking gives five upgrade prompts and a six-line model dialogue; the writing task is a 40-70 word upgrade of an old weak reason with a four-point checklist and a live word counter with auto-save; and an eight-question quiz mixes reason-quality skills with two reading-comprehension questions, each with a one-sentence explanation and a saved score.
